MICK 330DCI

Hope its parts we may get a discount???? haha Welcome Melissa!

Cheers Jeffthro, I was just being lazy & a little err tipsy shall we say ....on the bright side my spelling was good haha! I will try this out in a bit. Also just seen your comments on F1 & yeah they dont sound as nice as the old cars but for me you will never beat the sound of the Flat / V12`s or the V10`s. Didnt think much of the V8`s either!

I for one like to look at all the info fellow owners share on this site about their experiences with their particular BMW model. Now ive had a beer or 10 & maybe you can do this & im too peed up to notice it but...... It would be nice/lazy yes.....to be able to read then store all info relevant to your own model BM in your own section. How you go about saving threads at the moment i dont know but maybe it would stop hundreds of questions on the same topic? We all have content gallery etc so would it be possible to have a section where we could store all relevant & invaluable answers to our many questions.....i dont know what you want to call it but maybe "Save info" as then we wouldnt have to troll through all the blogs. Yes i did say im lazy! I cant be the only one who does not want to print off every useful blog of your own particular model? If we could nstore it in our own section surely this would help us all as one day that particular post may help us on our way & we would be able to find it so much quicker! Beer thoughts over........just found a bottle of JD! .....Happy days! + im on nights a couple of thousand miles away!

so you`ve met the missis

Went looking for an Audi. Got peed off with the junk that sellers said were mint! Hadnt looked at a Bm for years but heard the 330 was good. Any how...after seeing yet another horrible Audi interior we passed Sytners on the way home....thought sod it went for a look & there she was! Mint straight & with 12 months warranty. Didnt like the wheels(pain to clean) Didnt much like the colour(steel blue) but 1 mile(may have been 300yds lol) in it & it was mine. Had to have it! The engine sold it to me!

Eleanor gents please! Jayzus you must all be25yrs old! What happened to a highland green GT390 MUSTANG? McQUEEN`S in BULLET? Eleanor was the hot pants relation living on the rep with a moron driving it lol What about the Cobra 427 & Daytona Spyder from Gumball?? Real cars gents! IMO Start the old !Removed! abuse now...........

Hi Matt, welcome! haha Geoff i dream of owning an M3 VERT!!!!! Sod the figures. One day i will get one. Got the roof down Dunday for 10mins. Wife thought i was mad but loved it & in those 10mins the 4 hour journey & 7 hours total to buy it were worth every minute. We were kids again & even drove round the block twice. Bloomin brilliant! Roll on summer!!

Cheers chaps, Yeah checked it out & its last date of liability was 2001 so i guess its history. it was the most expensive car i`d ever bought at 8k. It was also the biggest nightmare costing me a fortune lol. The day i was sick & fed up of it i went to tradeit in & it even broke down on the dealer forecourt. AA came & fetched it. When fixed i took it straight to a garage & got rid of it! Went back to a GT5s Audi Coupe which i had for 10 wonderful years.Didnt buy another beemer for 17years! The 330d changed all that 6+ years ago.

Im new so maybe this exists but i aint seen it. A section where you can try & find your old BMW ...Is it owned by a club member miles away? Does it still live? etc etc If i may... Is D486 VRD 325i 2door in white still roaming the earth & would love to know its in the club(so to speak) being enjoyed. Thanks Mick

Thanks guy`s! Dont know about the wig sketch...me & super glue dont get on (have you watched American Pie?) The 330ci never ceases to amaze me how good it is on fuel for a 3litre. Awesome. Could be better if it was manual but the missis loves the auto so no prizes for who won! Really though 38mpg on the motorway nudging 40 at times....& down hill with the wind behind it 99.9 Ha!The diesel i bought 6+ years ago. My first Bmw since 1991 as that 325i was thee biggest let down ive ever owned. The330d crawling is showing 28mpg & 70MPH CAN BE 54MPG...!Removed! marvelous ! Audi`s since (GT5`s Quattro 100cc) the 325 but when looking to replace an A4 tdi the Beemer convinced me in less than 1 mile to buy it! She`s been fantastic. Cost me 200 quid in none service parts(consumables) in over 6years ! It will present me with a large bill soon but i cant complain when/if she does! All the best chaps

I get the same thing with mine. 205/50/17 all round on a 330d se. All tyre web pages say it should have 225+ on it. I bought from a dealer so never questioned it & lets face it the tyres are cheaper lol

Hi everyone Im Mick from the west mids & im lucky to own a 330ci Cab & 330d Touring. Joined up to learn as much as possible about these cars which the missis & i enjoy. The 330D has now covered 172000m on one exhaust & 1 clutch(though maybe not much more in the latter lol) & its been as good as gold really. The Cab is a new arrival. Cant wait for summer as never owned a Cab. Wind in the hair is only possible for the wife as mine cleared off a while back but who cares. We will be like 2 kids come summer which is what cars are all about. Getting out enjoying them!
